[SOLVED] Cannot configure etckeeper properly

EDIT: nevermind, I'm a total spaz and didn't enter my ssh keys properly

Having a tremendous amount of difficulty doing something that should be fairly simple: get etckeeper to work with a remote git repo.

I followed this page: Etckeeper

NOTE: I already have my git username set and added ssh key to github.

Steps to reproduce:

1) I initialized etckeeper inside /etc folder:

 $ etckeeper init 

2) add a remote repo

 $ git remote add origin git@github.com/<username>/<repo>.git 

3) make a change in /etc

 $ touch test 

I then receive a prompt to enter a commit message, as etckeeper has caught the change, I do this... then I get

fatal: the current branch master has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use git push --set-upstream etckeeper master

I do this as well, then it hangs for ages. It is still hanging now going on about 30 mins.

Any suggestions to get this working would be appreciated.

Thanks
